I have the rows done for a baby quilt for my daughter who is expecting in December. I used a white background which has small red and blue stars, with red and blue chevrons. I used 2 red stripes and 3 blue ones, and will have Texas fabric on the back. I love the simplicity of chevron quilts. Finally realized I had to make one when I realized I had pinned a bunch on pinterest. I love the blue and orange together. :-)

(I am in Texas too.) I have never made a chevron quilt before. I may have started off with half square triangles that are too large, but I will figure that out soon. I am still experimenting here.Dina

Looks great to me- I agree try white/blue/white/orange/white etc before you start sewing just to make sure you're choosing from all the possibilities. I think you're going to be very pleased with it. Can't wait to see the pictures!
